ACh-induced vasodilatation. The vasodilatation induced by ACh (10-6 M) in the 5-HT (2 × 10-5 M) preconstricted rat mesenteric artery segments cultured with DSP for 6 (A), 12 (B), 24 (C), 48 hrs (D) and the time course (G). ACh-induced vasodilatation in human MCA preconstricted by 1 μM of U46619 after treated with DSP 0.8 ml/L for 6 (E) and 12 hrs (F). Same volume of DMSO served as control. Data are derived from 8 segments and shown as mean ± S.E.M. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs. control.
